Yes, indeed, treat yourself to some new fabric. A good excuse!!!!
Now for my question ..... what does the encoder do for the machine?
(I have a S16, so it's all relevant to me)
Thanks!
well he told me but it was a few hours ago but here it goes. It encodes the message from the screen into something the motor can deal with. So if your screen is lit up but the machine won’t go when you press needle down or press the door pedal consider the encoder. Mario thought it would be $50. I guess Probably closer to $100. He says he’s not charging me labor. Probably feels bad that he didn’t believe me about the problem since it was intermittent. Understandable. He has to wait until HQ sends him the part and then he’ll fix it right away. Two weeks.
